Chapter 123: Recruitment (23)

"Prime Minister, our Honghu village has always been in the same spirit, and some major decisions must be approved by the village council before they can be implemented.

When you come to us to recruit soldiers, nine of the top ten villages have not given you a positive answer, and when it comes to me, I am also in a dilemma! Li Hong said very sincerely, and complicated colors kept flashing on her face.

"Young Patriarch, you know Gu's every move well, could it be that you cast a spell and put a pair of eyes behind Gu?

I came to you, how did you know that I was there to recruit soldiers? Couldn't it be something else? For example, Lone and the old patriarch fell in love, and they planned to stay here for two or three days to have a good chat with him?

There was indeed a recruitment, but I didn't believe the news would spread so quickly. Unless there is a quick channel of contact between you, this matter will definitely not reach you so quickly.

You might say that there are your undercover agents in other villages. If so, then believe even if you don't believe. Flying in the sky is always faster than walking on land. ”

"Prime Minister, your thoughtfulness has opened my eyes today. But there's something you don't know yet. I don't think they will tell you about it.

Before you came, we held a village meeting in Honghu Village. At the meeting, we focused on three issues.

First, the future development direction of Honghu.

Second, in today's troubled times, Honghu continues to remain neutral and detached. Or choose one of the potential forces and take the initiative to take refuge.

Third, whether Honghu Village should still be as full of villages as it is now, is it necessary to integrate it, turn it into a whole, integrate everyone's will, and speak to the outside world with one voice.

We discussed these three topics for a long time, and we did not come up with a final result until the end of the meeting.

However, the world is unpredictable. According to the information I have at hand, most of the people in the villages have begun to take the initiative to contact the outside world, and some villages have secretly joined the forces in the troubled times. ”

"Do you mean anything by saying this to Lone?" Cao Cao was full of doubts about Li Hong's words.

"Prime Minister, don't you understand what I mean? What does it mean that you went to nine villages, some of them explicitly rejected you, and some of them gave you ambiguous answers? ”

"It shows that those who refuse to be lonely already have a refuge object, and the ambiguous ones are still hesitating and choosing." A gloom flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Yes, exactly.

Each of the top 10 villages in Honghu has several or even a dozen followers. In other words, when the top ten villages make a decision, the Honghu village will disappear completely and be divided into ten forces. ”

"You're trying to tell Gu that after the top ten villages are gone, you don't have to go to those small villages anymore. They are not isolated, but have long been tied to the chariots of the top ten. ”

"Yes, so for now, the situation is not optimistic."

"Not necessarily. Haven't you taken a stand here yet? Lone feels that as long as he can gain something from you, Lone will not make this trip in vain. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Li Village is different from them, Li Village is located in the Honghu Lake, and its influence is limited to the main island and the nearby island groups. Decisions on land, even big ones, will not affect you.

Ever since the old patriarch drove the ship himself, Lone has been thinking about your attitude. It wasn't until the old patriarch personally admitted that Taigong was on the island that Lone's train of thought finally came to an end.

The Li family supports Gu, and the Li family will unswervingly join Gu's camp and be branded by Cao Wei from then on. ”

The people present, except for Cao Cao himself, were all shocked by his words. Li Wu and Li Hong are better, they originally decided this way. But Bian Que and Ouyang Xiaoxiao would not see it that way, they thought that Cao Cao was stimulated and ruthless, which led to problems in reasoning.

"Cao Cao, will your words be too full? I know you're in a bad mood, but you must not bring your mood into this matter, you need to know that the stakes are high! ”

"Yes! Prime Minister, how can you be sure that the Li family will join your camp? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us right now? ”

Cao Cao's gaze looked at Bian Que and Ouyang Xiaoxiao in turn, and finally, his gaze stopped on the Li family's father and son.

"Li Hong, I don't know if what Gu said is right?"

"You're right." Li Hong did not deny it, and replied neatly.

"Old patriarch, can you tell Lone, why did you choose Lone? You know that what you do will give the villains who are hiding in the shadows a reasonable excuse to blatantly rationalize things that they did not dare to expose before. ”

"Prime Minister, the old man naturally knows. The edifice is about to fall, so why should we be face-saving pasters? No matter how bright the exterior is, it can't keep the rotten heart.

Honghu Village, if you want to say that you are really good at water warfare and can integrate with water, it is none other than our Li Village.

Honghu Lake is very large, and there is a lot of land on the shore. But why do we choose to live on the islands in the lake, instead of sending some people to settle on the land?

The ancestral precepts cannot be violated, this is the wisdom of the ancestors. He calculated that one day in the future, Honghu Lake would change dramatically. When that day comes, what we can really rely on is our ability and the valuable experience inherited from our ancestors.

We live by the water, and we live with it all day long. The child born can play in the water at the age of three, and at the age of five, he can plunge under the lake more than ten meters deep. As an adult, every man who joins the Swordfish team can travel around the island for a week without rest.

Xiaoxiao, in your village, is there such a thing? And if so, how many people can do it? ”

Ouyang smiled embarrassedly, and then replied: "Uncle Li is right, the people who are rooted in the villages on the shore are good at water, but there are few people who can be as good at fighting as the men of Li Island.

It is precisely because of the strong combat effectiveness of Li Island that it exists in the top ten villages. Otherwise, the council would have kicked out their unsociable village long ago. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you to the ancestors of Li Village. If the first nine villages don't join the lonely camp, they won't join! With the addition of Li Village, Lone believes that Lone will win the battle of Tianjiang.

After the victory, the Lone Society will allocate 100,000 horses and horses to you for good training. Where there is weakness, there will be hard labor. Lone believes that under the teaching of so many good teachers, those rabbit cubs will definitely be able to transform from wolf cubs to water cubs! ”

"Hahaha..., what a water cub. It's just that the prime minister can tell me what this water cub looks like? ”

"What? Well, won't you know when you train out? Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but his heart trembled lightly just now. The devil knows what the water cub looks like.
